Certified instructor description: Fluid and effective — a true "fusion" of yoga and body-sculpting. It's a clever blend of techniques that builds lean muscle in a way that opens and elongates your entire body. The moves never seem forced. Instead, the combinations are smooth and natural (e.g. a "warrior" pose with a bicep curl, a plank that morphs into a push-up). Each of the five segments has a different focus. They range from simple balance exercises to challenging "power flows," from total-body toning to ab-specific routines. Elisabeth Halfpapp and Fred DeVito are experienced pros — their progressions are well-sequenced; their cuing is super-clear. Requires 1 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2011. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Exhale: Core Fusion Power Sculpt

Love this one
This is a nice combination of strength and yoga. I feel so good when it's over even though it is challenging (I'm using 5 lb weights and need to reduce by the end of the workout). I haven't done a lot of yoga but I like that this dvd focuses on the postures and the stretching of the body and not the breathing and meditation. - posted by Jana on 1/19/2012
boring...
I have other Core Fusion videos that I like, but this one is so boring. It feels like someone told the instructors to speak really slowly and really distinctly, and they took it to an extreme. I agree with the other reviewer that the person doing the modification is hidden from view. The only reason I gave this video 3 stars is because two of the workouts have some redeeming qualities. - posted by carol on 1/18/2012
Returned
The video seemed slow moving, I need to get my workout done, work hard and move on with my day. This just seemed to drag on. So I returned it. - posted by Erin on 12/30/2011
Well sequenced
A lot of thought went into the choreography to try and create a flow...I appreciate that....but it fell short and felt a bit forced. I also don't care for the 'in tandem' style of instruction, but that's just my personal preference. - posted by Jan on 12/1/2011
Good Workout
This is my first Core Fushion workout DVD and I really enjoy the variety of moves. Recently, I've been doing alot of yoga and while I am more flexible, toned, and relaxed, I missed the endorphin rush that I get from a cardio workout. Core Fusion Powersculpt has brilliantly combined all of my favorite exercises in one video - yoga, cardio, and strength training. You will work up a sweat with this DVD, while still feeling stretched and stronger due to the yoga and weight combinations! The best part is that you can do all of the exercises in your barefeet. I look forward to purchasing more Exhale videos in the near future. - posted by Regina on 11/25/2011
This workout flows in the segments and the different segments give options
I am not a barre/fusion enthusiast. I enjoy a barre/fusion type workout once in awhile as a break from my normal workout routine, a combination of cardio, circuit, and light weight strength workouts. I had read about Core Fusion workouts for quite awhile and had been tempted to try them. The bottom line is that I thought this workout is well done, is cued well, and flows easily within each section. There are six segments, each around 10 minutes long. You can play the entire workout or choose the segment you want to do. Once you have chosen a segment, it keeps going through the segments sequentially. Fred and Elisabeth alternate leading the different section. They are in the front row and there are three background exercisers across the back row. The exerciser on the far right in the back is the modifier. She does a good job of demonstrating modifications. Unfortunately, she was not always on the screen when I needed to see her because she was in the back corner. It would have been better if she were in the middle of the back row. I was impressed by how Fred and Elisabeth lead the segments. They cue precisely and with or a little ahead of the move. They use descriptive language so that I could picture what they wanted me to do from their words. In general, the segments have standing moves and then the exercisers shift to the floor. They flow well between the standing and going to the floor and back. They recommend light weights for the standing portions and you generally put them down as you go to the floor and then pick them back up as you come back up. There are a lot of moves requiring body weight to be supported on the hands - down dogs, push ups, high and low planks, etc. The workout has the following sections: > Power Fusion > Strength Flow > Power Flow > Strength and Balance > Abs & Glutes > Bonus: Stretching W/ Weights - posted by Laura on 11/20/2011
Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
